What the college says

Economics touches every area of our lives: from the pricing of our favourite shampoo; to the cost of housing; to the availability of jobs that will allow us to afford either of them. In studying Economics A Level students learn about all levels of Economics, from the individual consumer to the actions of national governments and multinational corporations. Most importantly, students will develop an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach; skills essential for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult and working life.
